I woke Thursday feeling froggy and decided to hike up to see Indian Flats Falls.
It is a moderate hike with plenty to see along the way. It gets a little monotonous in that I've hiked it numerous times for one reason or another, but I've only been to see those falls
twice before. It has been five years since the last time I was there.
Last time I was backpacking to Derrick Knob and did not have as much time to visit the falls as I would have liked since I still had 4 or five miles to cover to get there.
Today I was in lolligag mode so I had plenty of time to visit the falls and explore and take pictures and videos. I got an early start. I was the only one there and never saw another soul until I got back in the vicinity of the intersection with Panther Creek Trail.
It was beautiful! Another glorious early Spring day with sunshine, blue skies and warm temperatures. A few spring beauties were out along the trail, but it will be awhile before the flowers are out real good. I encountered numerous members of the Happy Hikers club on my way out. I struck up a conversation with Bob Vineyard and we hiked all the way out together. He is an interesting fellow.
